The White-bearded Manakin is a passeriforme of the family Pipridae.
It shows sexual dimorphism. The male is black and white with reddish-orange legs. The female is olive-green.
The breeding display is one of the noisiest of the manakin family. The males perform in a lek close to the ground where a court has been prepared. The male makes fast flights back and forth on a pair of saplings while making whistling calls, whirring the wings and making loud snapping noises.
It is found in lower levels of the forest especially forest edges as well as shrubby campina and restinga woodland.
Presente na maior parte da Amazônia brasileira e de Alagoas para o sul até Santa Catarina. Encontrada também nos demais países amazônicos e no Paraguai e Argentina.
